OUR RESEARCH

Every week we speak to 1,000 households from the Social Soup community to understand what is going on right now across Australia and what this means for brands and businesses, organisations and government.

The survey includes ongoing questions that take the weekly ‘pulse’ of the nation as well as a different in-depth exploration of a specific theme. Our multidisciplinary team of analysts and strategists will review responses to these questions to develop insights and implications that will be shared in our weekly report.

Some clients also request questions to be added, specific themes to investigate in a deep-dive or extra analysis of our data and insights, feel free to contact us directly with your enquiries and we are happy to help.
